Just for Eagle Projects

Does BillionGraves qualify for use in an Eagle Project?

Absolutely - On page 4 of the Eagle workbook it says: "Some aspect of a business operation provided as a community service may also be considered—for example, a park open to the public that happens to be owned by a business, but primarily benefits the community." While BillionGraves isn't a park it is a FREE service to the community that benefits thousands of people researching their family history, and cemetery sextons who spend too much time helping people find graves instead of taking care of the cemetery.

Technically BillionGraves itself is not the project.
The Eagle project should focus on documenting a cemetery and preserving the historical records found there.
BillionGraves is a tool that can be used to facilitate the project, store the information and make it freely available to everyone. Ultimately, the local council or district is responsible for determining if an Eagle project is approved.

Each Eagle project that uses BillionGraves may vary distinctly in the details. Some boys may decide to only take pictures, others may take pictures and transcribe the information themselves, while others may also decide to clean headstones, erect a veterans memorial, etc.
